God, that sure is purdy....how sweet it must be. Care to share pertinent component info???
I thought you had to put one bullet in a bull during a score match. Or is this a new discipline group-score or maybe score-group?
Actually I shot my first 30BR score match last Saturday. I was clean but had the lowest X count,11. Last month I shot my 6PPC and won, 250-17. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around, you got the higher X count with the 30BR. I hope I can find the tune for this rifle soon..
And that was a very nice group you shot.
Jerry,
I have shot best with fairly hot loads, 34.8gr with naked bullets and 35gr with coated. One of my worst matches happened when I tried to hit a lower node at 33.8gr. Ugly! Good luck with your 30BR.

This 30BR is a light gun and it let's you know it.
you just was showing off shooting 5 x's on one bull
Keith, what is the weight of the bullet and the ogive. Most of us shooting 115-118 grainers are hitting that node. You have to be careful though when changing lots of powder from different years. I was using 34.9 of 2009 lot and when I started using a jug of 2012, my measure spewed out 35.4 instead of 34.9. I always start lower which was a good thing as 34.4 of 2012 gave me the same speed as the 34.9 of 2009. I never did get to try the 35.4!
The orange sticker has 11 digit code on it. The first number is either a 1 or and 8 depending on whether it is a 1# jug or an 8# jug. The next 6 digits are the date in mm,dd,yy. The last 4 are the actual lot number.
but it may be the best group I will ever shoot. This was shot in a local score match, 5 shots at 100 yards, with a 30BR. The center ring is 3/8". To my best ability to measure, it is a 0.022" group. Just couldn't resist posting this.
Thanks for looking,
Keith

Thanks, Randy. I don't mind sharing: Dan Honert bullets coated with boron nitride, 35gr H4198, Federal 205M primers, Lapua brass neck sized only about 3 times, Shadetree tuner, Bartlein 18 twist barrel, BAT 3-lug with a few design details of my own, homemade "porpoise" stock, Leupold 45x scope.
After rereading this thread I see that it is the stock that you built, I was wondering about that silently. How about some pictures of that setup? Seeing that I have been absent from the score shoots this year I haven't had the pleasure of shooting with you and admiring your new rifles.

How about some pictures of that setup?
